How can I miss you if you won’t go away?

Yep, after a week or so of sitting in front of the computer in the same sweatpants, this is how Victoria lets me know that it’s time for me to go outside and air out a bit, or at least find a fresh pair of sweatpants and vacuum up the cracker crumbs that have piled up around my monitor.

I figured after spending an hysterical 2023 together I’d give you a little break before diving into the hilarity that is sure to be 2024.  Boy… what a mistake that was. The confetti had barely hit the floor and already 2024 was pelting us with a whole variety of WTFs. I mean, even for we nonplussed New Yorkers, a bunch of guys tunneling their way across Brooklyn got us to do a double take.

Look, if you’re gonna live in The City, you gotta seem bored and completely “whateves” about… everything. I guess we should have seen it coming. Not the tunneling per se, but it’s like Batman and Superman fighting crime. It starts with them fighting your normal-type “villain,” then after a while, the villains realize they have to level up. Those super guys have costumes, so the villains get costumes. Those super guys have superpowers, so the villains get some superpowers. The escalation goes on and on and pretty soon you’ve got The Penguin and The Joker and Catwoman running around Gotham, robbing banks with laughing gas and exploding penguins.

So, a bunch of guys tunneling under Brooklyn should not have been a surprise to us. It’s just a bunch of New Yorkers leveling up their game to get a reaction, any reaction, out of another New Yorker.

You should really visit sometime…

NEW YEAR – NEW FORMAT

Mark Twain famously wrote, “I wrote you this long letter because I didn’t have time to write you a short one.” Which pretty much sums up what I send you every week. I mean, I can go on sometimes.

Look, I can’t have you rushing to catch up on this week’s email, struggling to find enough time to finish it before next week’s shows up in your inbox, and… we got a lot of stuff going on. So I’m gonna try something new and break it up with little headlines like the one above, with a quick paragraph or two after it. And… if you want more after that… why would you want any more after that?

VICTORIA READS OUR EMAILS TO YOU

Better yet. Just play the video. Victoria reads these things to you every single week. She does a great job and actually makes what I write sound interesting, informative, and important. Okay, maybe not important so much, but it beats the hell out of reading.

Don’t like to read? Victoria reads this email to you!

ALISIN
New Videos

If you follow us on social media, you may have seen some of our new music videos. I don’t think we call them music videos anymore, but that’s what they are – only really, really short because like my weekly newsletter, who the hell has time to watch anything over 30 seconds? I don’t. Or if I do, I speed it up to X 1.5 speed because that’s how fast New Yorkers talk and it sounds normal to me.

If you missed our new music videos on the FB and IG, click this link and go to the YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@kshpresents/shorts. The videos are short, they’re a lot of fun and Victoria is amazing. I’m even in a few of them and hey… that’s its own special kind of party. Check ’em out.

Fulldome

I told you we were asked to go to Cardiff, Wales in October to show off a little of our new AliSin Fulldome Production. (I did too tell you.) Well, there’s a bunch more going on with this fulldome stuff and we wanna keep you up to date.

What is fulldome you ask? It’s like The Sphere in Las Vegas where U2 is performing. I mean, The Sphere is stupid big, because… it’s Vegas, but that’s the idea. A big dome (like a planetarium) that immerses you in an experience.

I just used two overused words in that sentence, “immerse” and “experience.” I’ll probably write them a lot this year because those are the buzzwords all the cool kids are using. If you’re not an “immersive experience” you just ain’t nothing.

Thing is, we’ve *always* been an immersive experience, and the technology has finally caught up with us so we can “immerse” you even deeper in a story.

Now, I just want to point out that with this new format of HEADLINE and SHORT PARAGRAPH, I really wondered if I was going to be able to tie what I was writing back to our shows, and what it is we create. Well… there it is. What can I say? It’s a gift.

Okay…. happy new year.

That’s it. I’m not gonna get all mushy.

See ya~ Kevin

p.s. The website is written with clever headlines and short, concise descriptions. The socials are trying to decide what color scheme to go with on their supervillain costume.
